2020 GULGONG SHOWGIRL COMPETITION ENTRIES OPEN!!!
|
This year our Showgirl Committee decided to try something new and hosted a Showgirl Luncheon in the summer school holidays prior to the Showgirl Competition.
The aim of the luncheon was to educate members of the community interested in the Show and the Showgirl movement. The luncheon included some fun games mixed with guest speakers from a range of ages and experiences who shared their Showgirl journey stories. Members of the committee also put together a Showgirl package with lots of information including resources from other Shows about the Showgirl competition and the introduction of our own Gulgong Showgirl Guide. Plus there were some great tips on how junior members of our Show Society can become more involved with the Show Movement all year round. All these documents will soon be made available on our website. After the success of our Inaugural Showgirl Luncheon in 2020 we hope to make this an annual event. |
